A Little Bit About Me...

I am a recent Bachelor of Science in Child Studies graduate of FGCU and hold a current FCCPC. I am considered a non-traditional graduate (which in my case means older), and I bring with me a range of personal and professional experiences that have developed and enhanced my capacity for learning, teaching, and adaptability. My primary interest in learning is focused on the social-emotional and cognitive influences that create the optimal conditions for brain function during the learning process. Providing both the necessary supportive social-emotional environment through positive guidance as well as the cognitive stimulation that physical, sensory, and creative and artistic activities produce are fundamental to implementing a brain-based learning approach, and I am trained to integrate hands-on activities across the curriculum and learning domains that relate to real world experiences. ... read more

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I have a Bachelors (BA) degree in Child Education with my Masters degree (MA) in Special Needs Education. For the past three years I have worked as an SEN teacher in three local schools in Liverpool UK working with children aged 5 years to 15 years with ADD / ADHD disorders

I have traveled the world with my husband for the past 8 years before moving to the USA. I have vast experience of working with many types of children a lot of whom didn't have English as a first language. My training as a special needs teacher and my global experience has taught me to be very adaptive in my teaching style when working with SN kids. I have attended and passed many training courses both educationally, psychologically and medically. I keep myself up-to date with all the latest teaching methods.
Whether working in a classroom or one-on-one at home I treat my pupil as a friend and confidant working with him/her to gain the pupils confidence and trust as the building block for their educational needs. I am an outgoing person and try to to make learning as fun as can be but with a strict approach to achieving goals. As well as educational needs I also work with the pupil ... read more

More About This Tutor...

My old next door neighbors have two children. One is a boy in elementary and one is a girl in middle school. I tutored the boy in reading and writing. He was able to read his first book on his own after a few weeks with me. I had to tutor the girl in math. she was taking algebra and was having a tough time with it. In two weeks of many meetings, she was able to pass her final exam. No matter what grade I was in, I always enjoyed going down to the ESE room and helping the special kids. I did what ever I could to help.

I have been working with kids of all ages for a long time. I love to see them learn and grow. That moment when they "get" something is magical! I spent the 2011-2012 school year teaching at a title 1 school in Collier County and have grown exponentially from it! I had several students in my class who needed special help, and half of my class were English language learners. These students have helped me to strengthen my skills and adapt to different student's styles.
I like to make teaching fun! If a student is bored they aren't going to be putting 100% into their work. I also use a positive reward system and celebrate all achievement. Even if it is minor.

I taught for 8 years in a Title 1 Elementary school in North Fort Myers. The population was and still is over 90% free and reduced lunch. I taught 4th and 5th grades for 4 years and then taught science as an exploratory to all of the students for 4 years. I developed my curriculum for all grade levels in science, connected them to the building block and Sunshine State Standards, and created assessments. Currently, I am teaching Life Science to 7th graders at a Cape Coral middle school which is 5 miles form my home. I taught Science for 6th, 7th and 8th ESE students who had learning disabilities there for two years and ESOL students last year.
I like to teach science because it gives me many opportunities to teach using my preferred styles. I like to use cooperative learning, have the students investigate questions, and use hands on activities with real world examples. I try to bui ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have earned a bachelor degree in Elementary Education and a master degree in Special Education. During my education at the University of Florida, I have numerous experiences teaching and tutoring during my field placements and internships. My experiences ranged from teaching one-on-one to teaching a full classroom of 30 children. I have taught from Kindergarten age to fifth grade. I have experience teaching students with learning disabilities and with emotional disabilities in resource rooms and self-contained rooms.
I believe that making learning fun and exciting benefits all children. I also believe all children have the capability of learning and advancing. It is the teacher's job to find the way each and every child learns best. Each child has a different and unique learning style and discovering this is the key to being an outstanding teacher. My goal as a teacher is ... read more

My first work experience began with counseling Severely Emotionally Disturbed children and their families. In this capacity I worked with the schools in order to enable the students to see the value of education and to work through their personal problems in order to be successful in the school setting. I have been a teacher/trainer for 12 years in the Lee County school system. The levels I taught included diverse populations of middle and high school students. Most of my classes were comprised of ESE students and in fact there were several years that I concentrated on Severely Emotionally Disturbed students in a special program. Throughout both of these careers I have been extremely successful in establishing rapport and trust with these children and have been triumphant in motivating this population to care about themselves and their education. My passions are teaching ... read more

I believe all students can learn. We have to meet our students at their learning level and interest level. When we teach our students above their learning abilities it creates frustration and poor self-image. I believe students should be offered choices in their education to give them ownership of the learning process.
I earned an undergraduate degree from Ohio State University and a Master's degree in Special Education from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I taught for the Priceton City Schools district in Cincinnati for 31 years.I taught mostly middle school in the areas of math and special education. I taught remedial math with our alternative school for "at risk" students. I also taught classroom management classes and special education classes for the Education Department of Xavier University.

I prefer teching differented education (one-on-one)as opposed to whole classroom. Learning ability is a very personal thing, and each student has their own strengths upon which we can work. Teaching reading is an intense endeavor and focus is necessary. Most the students I served were low achievers in a classroom setting. Each needed personal attention.
During the past 30 years, I have earned teaching and elementary principal credentials from the State of Michigan. I also possess Masters level Reading Specialist certification taken as an undergraduate on my BA degree for Social Science. As a teacher, I have worked with students of diverse ages and lifestyles. I taught and served as vocational/academic principal in a State Correctional where I also taught ABE/GED reading and math. In the College Success Center at a Michigan Community College, I taught reading speed, comprehens ... read more

Students learn best when they are doing. My teaching is style is a mix of modeling, hands-on and critical thinking. Depending on the subject and age, I enjoy having students use manipulatives or answer small real-life dilemmas as to understand concept better. In lessons I have taught, I focus on the learning objectives and match strategies that will help bring the information in the best way to each student, depending on their learning styles and background knowledge. I also like to start with an inviting introduction to pique interests’ into students. I assess frequently to see how student are doing in a lesson (or where there needs to be improvement) by using simple observations to small meaningful activities.

A Little Bit About Me...

I love teaching all ages, nearly all subjects. I understand that everyone has different styles of learning. When teaching to a group, ideally all styles would be touched on (auditory, visual, hands-on). When working one-on-one, though, it is possible to teach towards that individual's particular style of learning. This works so much better than a one-size-fits-all method of teaching. If one way of teaching isn't working, I search for a different approach, until I find one that works. I try to explain concepts using ideas and terms that the student is familiar with. This allows the student to relate new concepts to already familiar ones, which helps it 'stick' better. I love 'aha' or 'lightbulb' moments - it makes it all worthwhile!

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my studies I have learned that all students learn differently. When teaching in a classroom, I will have to discover the way each student learns individually. An important aspect of my teaching experience has been to get down on that students level, and look at the struggles each student has in the classroom. I modify lessons in order to have each student adapt them to his or her own learning style. I believe that each student is willing to learn, but needs to discover the best learning style suitable to their abilities.
As an English Education major, I have had numerous encounters in the classroom with each of my classroom practicums. After completing my degree in the fall of 2009, I will have over three semesters of classroom experience, working with students from the sixth grade to the twelfth grade. I have also worked as a childcare provider for several years, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

In working with children I have learned that it is important to be excited about what you are teaching. That excitement is contagious and creates a desire to self learn and creates long term study habits. That excitement will be reflected in a students' progress as they gain more knowledge about a certain subject. My goal is to inspire a child to realize what they are able to accomplish through hard work and fun.
During my years as an undergraduate student I took on extensive study habits that included working in study groups and tutoring other classmates who were struggling with material. In my undergraduate experience I have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary to comprehend extensive material including math, physics, chemistry, and life sciences. As an honors student I was required to speak in front of large groups of people and explain complex subjects in areas that I ha ... read more
